Publisher's Synopsis
Tomi's return to civilization awakens old ghosts and draws him into a kingdom on the brink of ruin. Haunted by the loss of his father's book--his legacy--Tomi embarks on a relentless mission to retrieve it. His journey weaves through dark forests and treacherous cities, where allies and enemies blur together. From the brutal hunters of Elkswood to the deadly bandits that roam the countryside, each step pulls him further from the life he once knew and deeper into the kingdom's shifting dangers. As winter's chill deepens and whispers of war grow louder, Tomi is drawn into the world of the Forsworn, exiles surviving on the edges of a broken land. But loyalty has a price, and Tomi must decide how much he's willing to risk for those he's come to care for--even if it means losing the last connection to his past. In a kingdom shadowed by betrayal and unrest, Tomi's pursuit of his father's legacy may cost him everything, but it could also be his only path to a future he can call his own.
